Got tired of the bulky Cardas + techflex + bigass furutech plug cable and switched to ADL's iHP-35H. Very flexible, well-built, with sturdier HD800 jacks than the stock cable and it's reasonably light/small. Plus it's copper, the kind with the ridiculously long acronym before it. Got it through a Japanese broker for 150$ http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B00D54XCRQ/ - here in the states it starts out at 229.

Thanks for the link anetode!  I may snag one of those in the future, looks solid.  Maybe the 3M XLR one.

I'd rather mail you some free stuff than you thinking I'm a douchebag or something. 

So by his own logic... He's a douchebag?

Got ze cable! Now I can compare OCC (Ted's) and SPC (stock) and see if cables make any audible difference to me. I can already tell the physical differences are significantly better with Ted's. Much lighter and easier to use.


Love the look of the cable and thinking of getting one myself, any SQ difference?  How's it sound with your GS-X mk 2?

No difference I can tell. Too early with the GS-X yet.

I ended up with a Vanquish cable from Trevor at Norne Audio. It's one of if not the most functional and pleasant cables that I've ever used. And I've used a few :-)

I was also looking at that one as well, from both an aesthetic and ergonomic standpoint (as well as needing a balanced termination). Were you able to appreciate any sonic differences?
